The skilled trades are the traditional backbone of Frankfurt's economy. It is primarily the fact that its business activities are geared towards such values as high-quality work and training, sustainability, social responsibility and integrity that makes the skilled trades industry a reliable pillar of the economy.
There are around 7,300 small and medium-sized skilled trades businesses in the Frankfurt municipal area. To promote the skilled trades, Frankfurt Economic Development works together with the Frankfurt-Rhine-Main Chamber of Skilled Crafts and the skilled trades guilds. Our trade counselling team is available on site to support skilled trade businesses.
